He showed us another picture of something he wants. A ipod thats a phone
song of the day:Dont Leave Me This Way by: Thelma Houston
Picture of the day: iphone (Mr. Neiffer wants one of these!)
took notes on Daoism?.... AWESOME
We talked about Without a Paddle
Concepts covered in class with brief summary
Daoism
Not sure when Lao Zi (founder of Daoism)died.
Lao Zi means "old master"
To become a Daoist you need to : reject formal knowledge and learning, rely on your instincts, work on discovering the "rythm" of the universe, and ignore the political and social laws of society! ......sign me up!
Yin Yang
We talked alot more about Confucious and Daoism and how some poeple think that Lao Zi was Confucious' teacher.
>
* Daoists beleive that this is a world of opposites and everything is balanced
the Dao De Jing is the basic text of Daoism
The uniqueness of Taoism
We talked about the art of doing nothing. ( which by the way I have mastered! )
>
* The study that Daoism you have to be one with nature
And I actually figured out the art of doing nothing today
We talked about the person who did make Daoism and how he was the tacher of Confucious.
and we talked about bad movie
We talked for two minutes adout Monty the card game
Braden got two more passes
Mr. Neiffer showed us the new iphone, which is pretty sweet!
And then he told us a story about how he is the farthest one from "THE WAY".
We learned what the yin means and what the yang means and how they balnance each other
Daoism was thought up by Lao Zi whose name means "Old Master"
We don't know when he died...
Was he Confucius' teacher?? Confucianism and Daoism are very similar
The Dao De Jing is the basic text of Daoism
Major Daoist Principles
1. Dao (Tao) is the first cause of the universe. It is a force that flows through all life
2. A believer's goal is to become one with Dao (one with nature)
3. Wu wei --> "Let nature take its course"
"The art of doing nothing"
"Go with the flow"
4. Man is unhappy because he lives according to man-made laws, customs, nad traditions that are contrary to the ways of nature.
